What scares me more than anything is that they might even try to pass a law where the Incumbent President can stay as long as they want to, and pass it to whom ever they want to. For those of you that think otherwise look at what else they are doing with the Constitution and the way that they will usurp it's authority.

With Freedom comes great responsibility, you cannot have one without the other

Look at Ron Paul, he follows the constitution more than anyone. He is the only one that isnt talking about spending more money. I know the media gives him a bad rep but look at his stance on issues, he is more conservative than anyother candidate. Ronald reagan even campaigned for Dr.Paul when he was running for congress for the district I live in. Our district is very conservative and wants as little government as possible in their lives.

..............................You can look at Ron Paul and that`s it!!.........Not going anywhere! Not going to be the nominee! Not enough delegates! ZIP!..........Agree with his domestic stuff. But he is whacked out on foreign policy. In that dept. "its all America`s fault"............Nevermind we liberated millions in Afganistan and millions in Iraq! Nevermind the surge is defintely working.....Nevermind that Saddam would have re-constituted his nuclear and biological ambitions had we not gone in there! Nevermind Saddam`s violations of 17 UN resolutions since the first Gulf war. Nevermind his 25k support in funds to the families of each suicide bomber!...............Nevermind all that and alot more!!.....Ron Paul is a conservative on domestic issues,,,,but a damned, appeasing and spineless liberal on foreign policy!

Well this is where the republican party lost their way, IT is a liberal foreign policy to go and liberate people for the sake of letting them live like us ( vietnam, korea, black hawk down) all republicans elected to get us out of those conflicts. Please do not get me started on the UN. We should not be in the UN and definitely not go to war over it.
It should be noted Dr.Paul gets more donations from the active military than another candidate combined including many of my friends who are fighting over there!

I'm a Libertarian and I wouldn't give my vote to Mr Paul................ What does that tell you bro.......

...your not a constitutionalist

Look at his voting record compared to the constitution, He has a 100% Constitutionally correct voting record

........................I have no quarrels with Ron Paul domestically or his belief in what the Constitution is and should be!......His problem is to pretend that evil does not exist, stick our heads in a hole and hope we never get hit again!...........50% or so of the American people are absolutely so naive when it comes to terrorism and its threats....IF ONLY WE WOULD LEAVE THEM ALONE; THEY WOULD LEAVE US ALONE??.... B.S!!!!...While we try and make peace, they would be planning their next attack!!.....That`s what liberals do; APPEASE AND NEGOTIATE WITH EVIL; RATHER THAN CONFRONT IT AND DESTROY IT!.........THAT MY FRIEND,,,,,,,IS YOUR RON PAUL!!!!......NO THANKS!!!

I'm an AWM and have no choice but to vote for McCain. Not good, but far better than the alternative.

Now you have that right. Duncan Hunter long gone and Romney out of the race for all technical purposes and lets face it, Ron Paul is a whack job (all over the board on gun control, hard to pin him down), McCain is the only person we can vote for. I wish there was more in the way of campaign reform, so that candidates like Duncan Hunter could have an equal stake, monetarily, to be a viable candidate from the start, but without doling out money to every person who thinks they want to run for president.

Pretend evil doesn't exist? He approved the war in Afghanistan because it was a defensive war in response to the 9/11 attacks. To start war when a country has not attacked us is unconstitutional and immoral. Iraq had not attacked us. Preemptive wars to deal with potential threats are not good foreign policy and hypocritical. When do we deal with Iran, North Korea, China, and god only knows how many other countries, hostile to America and its values, that are developing the types of weapons programs we had to kill Saddam for?

Our foreign policy is failing. If nothing else it requires increased taxes and strips us of our Freedom here at home. I could give a sh*t less about the people who don't live in America and if I have to risk a terrorist attack in order to be truly free then by god, give me liberty or give me death, as they say. Correcting a failing policy is not appeasement.

McCain will win the nomination, but he's about as conservative as my H.S. art teacher. At least in the primaries I can vote for the man I want (Dr. Paul) without it splitting the Republican vote and result in a Democrat in office. I'll vote for the GOP this fall, but right now I vote for my ideals; Freedom.

OH REALLY????????????

I suppose that believing in protecting this Country from possible and very REAL threats, that are over seas and on this very continent as well is uncostitutional????????

That makes absolutely no sense at all........... To hear you tell it anyone that is not in line with your view is UNCONSTITUTIONAL......... Ron Paul is in many ways a fantastic candidate............. I will not however lend my vote to anyone that lacks the stomach to do the job that is necessary to insure the long term safety of this Country........... I also believe in DOCUMENTING immigrants. Would you have open borders in this day and age, with so many that would destroy us? That is foolish, I am no ones fool, least of all someone that claims to be a COSTITUTIONALLY accurate candidate, and blindly allow the threats to this Country in and welcome them at that..............My idea of a welcoming party for these individuals is the fireworks that come from the muzzle blast of an AMERICAN held gun. STATES RIGHTS IS CONSTITUTIONAL, Where has that concept gone?

FREE and OPEN BORDERS and an antiwar stance is not a CONSTITUTIONALLY mandated concept.

Since when is it Constitutionally wrong to be at war with our enemies, or to fight for freedom for others for that matter?

YOU SIR are DEAD WRONG on these issues as is Mr Paul............

I am a CONSTITUTIONALIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As such I have fought for the rights of people to be self loathing and to hate this Country as well............. WHERE SIR DO YOU STAND?

I suppose then also that to have a military is UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

To use it for the protection of our sovereignty is UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

HMMMMMMMMMMMM........... I guess being PATRIOTIC is also then UNCONSTITUTIONAL????

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! THINK AGAIN SIR, especially before you start saying that I AM NOT A CONSTITUTIONALIST!!!!!!!

Fighting foreign wars is not defending our own borders. Hell yes we need to document immigrants and secure our borders. A country without secure borders is no country at all. There are threats overseas. China, Korea and Iran are great examples, yet you don't find us going to war with them. For one, it makes no sense (just as Iraq didn't, but the administration pushed for it beyond reason) and for another thing, its immoral. Strictly speaking we can launch aggressive wars, but since war is supposed to be declared by Congress it is very rare that we would have an aggressive war if the Constitution was obeyed.

Did you know we have troops in over 130 countries? From Afghanistan to Australia, France to Japan, they're defending everyone but America. If we had troops on our borders, in our airports and at our docks we wouldn't have illegal immigration, that's for sure. The thing is, the 9/11 terrorists were documented. And there's little you can do to stop actions like those unless you support things like the so-called 'Patriot' Act, stripping us of many of the rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. If you want to live in a police state like so many of the countries we occupy, by all means, let your Freedoms dissipate, but I won't stand for it.

Many have taken an oath to office,
swearing to defend this country and it’s Constitution from all threats, foreign
and domestic. It is the latter we should be most worried about. A foreign
threat is easy enough to spot and guard against. This or that army, the
rhetoric of this communist or fascist leader, we see these and seek to protect
ourselves. However, we fail to look at ourselves, or rather, those we have
elected. These are the greatest threats for they have tasted the prestige,
power and joys of public office. They seek to retain them, and not to retain
the Freedom of the individual.
